SKILL 02 · Immigration
Organise a residency document pack
Turn existing records into a traceable document checklist for one identified residency procedure, while preserving originals and identifying gaps.
What you need
- Exact residency procedure and subcategory, plus whether applying inside or outside Chile
- Current official checklist or a copy of the authority's document request
- Available identity, civil-status, criminal-record and category-specific documents
- Issuing country, language, issue date and authentication details for each document
- Known name differences, incomplete pages or previous versions
What you can prepare
- Document-by-document evidence register with originals, working copies and missing items
- Personalised pack checklist marked DRAFT NOT SUBMITTED
- Editable cover index mapping each requirement to a filename and page range
FICTIONAL PRACTICE CASE
Try it before using real records.
Fictional case: Daniel, a Ghanaian citizen, is preparing a family-based application from abroad. His marriage record uses a different surname spelling from his passport. The pack flags the mismatch, keeps both original files and drafts a question about acceptable proof instead of silently changing either record.
Check the result
- Each current requirement maps to an available file or an explicit missing item
- Original files remain unchanged and every working copy is labelled
- Authentication, translation and document validity are checked separately
- Unreadable pages, identity mismatches and unverified requirements remain visible in the handover
Keep preparation and filing separate.
Documents produced are DRAFT — NOT SUBMITTED until reviewed and actually filed. The skill does not access accounts, submit applications, pay fees or represent you. Current official requirements and the actual notice must be checked for your case. English materials are not certified translations.
